[TurboGears] longlived connectionsin TG/Cherrypy

[Eric van Riet Paap]

Hi,

I've been trying to keep a http connection open for the server to keep sending data over. (what some call Comet I believe...)
This is my code...
-----------
from turbogears import controllers, expose

import time


class Root(controllers.Root):

    @expose()
    def index(self):
        i = 0
        while 1:
            yield str(i)
            time.sleep(0.5)
            i += 1
------------
It started working after I added these settings to dev.cfg...
------------
streamResponse  = True
server.environment="production" #required for streaming ( http://www.archivesat.com/Cherrypy_users/thread113782.htm)
-------------

It basically works but for some reason (I'm new to Turbogears :-) ) it only serves a single client.
I've tried "server.threadPool = 10" in dev.cfg but this was not the fix I was hoping for.
I plan to use this for a webgame client that we (some guys from the PyPy community) wrote in RPython to test the translation to _javascript_.
Currently we do about 5-20 requests per second but with this we get server data quicker and we can still send new data(/requests) to the server
over another http connection.

cheers
Eric
